Values Attached.
There seems to be no inclination OF
falling Of in real estate business, In fact
:. the summer approaches, transfers ag-
rreeAts larger amounts, showing that
capital il being largely invested. Last
week the sales fell short of two millions
Of dollars by only about ss5.Oo0 and the
number Of transfers was the largest ever
reached here This speaks volumes for
the future Of the county and as was re
marked At meeting of property owners
on Friday night. there was but little
doubt but by 1890 Los Angeles city will
contain at least 100. 900 inhabitants. Be-
sides this large amount paid out for
around, contracts have been recently
made for the erection OF several hand
some and costly business blocks besides
.numsrous dwelling houses and in the
building line great activity prevails.
There seems to be an unwillingness ON
the part Of the property owners along
the lines Of some of the streets to donate
4he ground to widen those thorough
4ares, This 10 held by those who havestud-
led the situation 10 be mistaken policy.
Prior to the realization OF the idea that
there would be formed Of this city me-
sropolis, the authorities should have
seen to IL that all street,, no matter
where laid out were of sufficient width
20 be of use at future time. The mis-
take made then ia not forcing such a
measure, is costing property holders con.
siderable now and if the widening is not
insistsd upon ct this time. 1t will
COST the next generation more. Parties
laying out new towns, no matter
where. should see to it that
there are no streets mar
ROVER than eighty feet and 100 feet is
not any too wide. 1t Is true that to al.
low 100 feet for streets wastes great
deal Of land, but that waste will be
moro than recompensed in TIE future.
The authorizes here should see to it that
no new street be accepted Of . less
width than eighty feet. and property
owners fronting on the narrow streets
which now exist. should redouble their
efforts to come to an agreement to widen
1T once. Eastern visitors have re-
marked that there are no drives Of any
consequence in Los Angeles, and this Is
soms injury to the popularity of the
city. Said . prominent eastern gentle.
msn few days ago, what matter If
Los Angeles has to be entirely remod.
eled now, the future will more than re-
pay the immediate loss. You propose
to sewer your city, why not widen and
straighten your streets at the same
timer
